The resulting layered infection areas, hotspots, are a result of the ant path locations, wind speed and wind direction. Â The ants paths of travel along the forest floor are abstracted as a field of random generated lines. Â The initial small hotpsot boundaries are also scattered at random. Â The initial hotspot boundaries are scaled in […]

Â Â For example, after completing the internal fungal growth stage, zero movement becomes the next optimal condition for the fungus growth. Â The closer the variable at the point in the […]
